SpaceX (SPCX) has set a launch date for its plan to run artificial intelligence (AI) data centers in orbit, and I think it deserves more attention. CEO Elon Musk said the company's first AI satellites, powered by Nvidia (NVDA) chips, will start launching in the final quarter of 2027, and he believes that the network will reach real scale in 2028. Each satellite is built to work like a data center in ****** e. Musk described the design as simpler, cheaper, denser, and lighter than a normal server rack on the ground. As I previously covered, ****** eX eventually wants to fly as many as 1 million of these satellites. The satellites are expected to handle heavy AI workloads from orbit, with Nvidia named as the exclusive chip supplier.
SpaceX is not the only company chasing orbital data centers. Startups like Starcloud are working toward the same goal. But ****** eX holds one advantage none of them can copy: It owns the rockets that rivals depend on to reach orbit.
